Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Today, we celebrate and honor our transgender, non-binary, and otherwise gender diverse community members. At MAC Federal Credit Union, we stand in solidarity with all of our LGBTQIA+ members, employees, and allies and uphold all eight cooperative principles of the credit union movement:
- Voluntary & Open Membership
- Democratic Member Control
- Member Economic Participation
- Autonomy & Independence
- Education, Training, & Information
- Cooperation among Cooperatives
- Concern for Community
- Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, Belonging, and Accessibility
We know financial institutions have not always been welcoming to the LGBTQIA+ community. Some of our staff have experienced it firsthand. That’s why we’re committed to removing those barriers by creating a safe and respectful space where all of our members can feel seen, heard, and valued. At MAC Federal Credit Union, we welcome and affirm your authentic self. Did you recently transition? Let us know so we can join in your celebration and ensure your information is up-to-date. We intend to get your name right, respect your privacy, and show you the dignity you deserve in every interaction.
We are committed to making financial services inclusive and accessible to all. When we say banking for ALL, we mean it to our core. We understand that navigating the financial landscape can be challenging and intimidating, especially when there is a fear of prejudice or discrimination. That’s why we strive to be your ally and advocate, ensuring that you feel supported and understood throughout your financial journey, whether it’s opening a new account, applying for a loan, or seeking financial guidance. At MAC, we believe in building a community where we uplift and empower one another not in spite of, but because of who we are. Join us and let us help you achieve your financial goals while celebrating who you truly are.
